AN ACT For the admitting of the Purchasers of Bishop's Lands TO Pay their whole Purchase-monies by Weavers-hall Bills.  
THe Parliament of England now assembled, finding upon due examination, that from the beginning of the sitting of the Contractors for the sale of Bishop's Lands. to the Five and twentieth of July, One thousand six hundred forty nine, exclusively there is paid and to be paid in ready money and Goldsmiths-hall Bills, upon the several Contracts for Bishop's Lands made by them within the time aforesaid, the full sum of Four hundred twenty three thousand, seven hundred sixty six pounds, fourteen shillings and ten pence: And being fully satisfied, That the said sum, together with the additional Security of the Excize in course (as it now stands charged) is a visible and sufficient Security to the Lender's of the first Four hundred thousand pounds, for whatsoever sum or sums of Money can remain due unto them or any of them, together with the growing Interest due for the same. And being deeply sensible, how slowly the Bishop's Lands are now bought off, whereby a great Debt, with its growing Interest and great Charge is continued upon the Commonwealth, in regard that the Purchasers of the said Lands are not admitted to pay their whole Purchase-monies by Weavers-Hall Bills, as is now most just and reasonable: Therefore be it Enacted and Ordained, and it is hereby Enacted and Ordained by this present Parliament, That all persons who have made, or shall make from and after the Twenty fourth day of July, One thousand six hundred forty and nine inclusively, any Contract for Bishop's Lands, shall be admitted to pay all or any part of their Purchase-monies, due or to be due upon such Contracts, either in ready Money, Goldsmiths-Hall Bills, or Weavers-Hall Bills, as well for the Four hundred thousand pounds charged by Ordinance of the Thirteenth of May, One thousand six hundred forty seven, as the Eighty four thousand pounds charged by Ordinance of the Third of June, One thousand six hundred forty seven, as the respective Purchasers shall think fit: And the trusties, Contractors and Treasurers for Bishop's Lands, and all other Officers and persons whatsoever concerned herein, are required to take notice hereof, and to act accordingly.
